IB KOFOD-LARSEN (1921–2003)
The internationally renowned Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen first learned cabinetmaking before later becoming an architect. Old originals of his furniture, such as the Seal armchair from 1956 or the Elizabeth armchair from 1958, are sold at auctions at extremely high prices. The Elizabeth armchair received its name when Queen Elizabeth II bought two armchairs privately from Kofod-Larsen during a state visit. The Penguin Chair was a sales success, especially in the USA. The re-editions of his designs distributed by us are handmade in Denmark by the company Brdr. Petersen by hand.

One of Denmark’s early most important architects, Vilhelm Lauritzen, ran his own architectural office, where Finn Juhls himself worked as a young man. His most important work is the so-called Radiohuset, the headquarters of the Danish radio station in Copenhagen. Lauritzen not only designed the building, but also its furnishings, including the famous Radiohussofa, whose design dates back to 1934 and is now handmade by Brdr. Petersen is handmade. Vilhelm Lauritzens Rundfunkanstalt is now a listed building.
